Hi Sifus here,

Plan to get a Viofo A119 dashcam, is the CPL really useful?
I'm trying to limit my budget, so thinking to go for only the device.

If you're on budget, then CPL is unnecessary.. It's just a stuff to reduce a glare. Without it, even with a glare, the dashcam can still record clearly what's in front of you..

If you got eyesore looking at one of the image below, then, you need to break your budget and buy a CPL filter ..

Viofo website? It's written there GPS module included.

Lazada and other need to see carefully.
*
when viofo 119 was new in the market, gps module is optional.. So, some seller sells with gps, some sells without..

hi, i just got my a119, i guess its a v2. I did some reading, youtubes, found out the use of that funny detaching string. but were curious on some issues...

1. it cant on now, shall i charge it overnight prior to first use?
2. the suction mount is not included, may i know what type is suitable & where to get it?
*
viofo doesnt come with suction cup, but i saw a suction cup for viofo in lazada sold by china. however, lazada's shipping from china is pretty fast. Usually within a week also can arrive..

Dear all,


Loop Recording: Is 3 minutes OK, or should be changed to 5 minutes?

*
If you frequently share your footage, you can set it to a low durations..
For me, I rarely or almost never view the footage. So, I set it at 10 minutes.
If I need to share the footage, I will cut the video myself using a pc software.

I'm a new owner of the viofo a119. My device comes with a FOC 8gb card(assume its cheapo, there's no brand on the sdcard). My problem is :

During recording, when the card gets full, the device would blink rapid red light & jam, pressing any keys wont turn the display on. I had 2 unplug the power to reset it, only then, when it switches on, it would prompt me to 'format' the memory card as its full. I also did not see any option to automatically delete the recordings when its full.

Does anyone has the same experience? Could pls kindly advise?
*
The loop recording was off.
Go to settings and find a 'loop recording' menu. There, you can set it to record in 1,2,3,5,10 minutes file duration or off (no loop recording).

didn't know this viofo a119 got fisheye effect  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

i believe, all dashcams use fisheye lense to capture a view as wide as possible..

Hi bros, will this a119 auto start recording once we started the car engine or need to press the on button to start recording?
*

Can it be used as a rear dash cam? Buy 1 for front and 1 for back?
*
there's another newer model of viofo that comes with 2 integrated cameras.. one for the front, and and for the rear.

My front A119 unit keep restarting itself, not sure is it capacitor problem or wire problem sad.gif
*
check the usb cable connection first.. most likely, there's a wiggle or lose connection either at the camera itself, or at the cigarette adapter. I would try to change to different ciggarete adapter first.
